وقاية Weqaya Thursday, 27 October 2011
Executive summary The GCC has a NCD crisis; Abu Dhabi has been able to leverage its distinctive strengths to create a novel NCD programme, Weqaya Under Weqaya all consenting adult citizens in Abu Dhabi have been screened once (2008 09, n~200,000) for the Framingham CVD risk factors; mobile numbers and email addresses were collected There have already been statistically significant improvements in proximal performance metrics From 2012 screening is repeated every 3 years for all, Weqaya data will be made available through secure cloud computing, and a novel Disease Management Programme market will be launched under Pay for Health 2
Overview Why did we create Weqaya? What did we discover in the first round of screening? What have we done about it already? What are the plans from 2012 onwards? 3
Abu Dhabi s greatest health challenge Implementing the Dubai declaration GCC Council of Ministers # Objective Relevance 1 National policies, prevention and treatment Yes, direct 2 Health awareness Yes, direct 3 Promoting a healthy lifestyle Yes, direct 4 Women, pregnant women and children Pending 5 Empowering patients and promoting dialogue with care providers Yes, direct UAE: World s 2 nd highest prevalence of diabetes 6 Stopping discrimination Indirect 7 Research and studies Yes, direct 8 Monitoring systems and monitoring health and economic burden Yes, direct Addresses at least six of the eight objectives 4

Weqaya works We can ensure everyone knows their numbers Highlights 1.Population screening for Framingham CVD risk 2.>94% adult Abu Dhabi citizens screened 3.Contact details collected (mobile and email) 4.Consent for research & follow up Learnings 1.Critical to return data quickly 2.Knowing numbers alone is insufficient to change behaviour (of course) Screening numbers per month 2008 2010 6
but Weqaya results demand action 71% screened >1 CVD risk factor Large proportion unaware 11,000 diabetics 27,000 hypertensives 57,000 dyslipidaemics Analysis shows affirmative action could save >3,000 Emirati lives Source Sample of 170,000 UAE Nationals in the Emirate screened for Weqaya in 2008 9; Wolfram analysis 7

HAAD Clinical Care Standards Developed by CVD team with POS team Based on International Evidence & consensus Aim to train physicians to provide consistent evidencebased care for patients and shift focus of care into primary care due to high demand Supported by CME accredited training (~200 physicians trained to date) Standards (mandatory) Obesity, e.g., criteria for gastric surgery Diabetes, e.g., data reporting requirements Smoking cessation Gestational diabetes Childhood diabetes Weqaya screening Weqaya follow up Guidelines (advisory) Obesity Diabetes Hypertension Dyslipidaemia Smoking cessation High CVD Framingham score Available at: www.haad.ae/policiesandregulation 11
Empowering patients Weqaya reports 110,000 individual reports sent to home addresses Individual Weqaya Score and risk factors Information, basic actions, brief message, separate information booklet Helpline (800 61116) Booking appointments (SMS reminders and re call) Answering Weqaya programme queries Interactive website Access to Personal Data Interactive, recommendations based on risk level Appointment booking option Links to DMPs Links and recommendations for nonhealth sector interventions General information on healthy living for Weqaya and general public 12
Health impact to date Impact of Weqaya screening and follow up on diabetes control Key points One early indicator of impact is diabetes control (% HbA1c) National diabetic patients passing through Weqaya (C1) have substantially better control of diabetes than those not passing through Weqaya (C2/C3) Consistency of care is also far higher between facilities for diabetes than for management of other chronic disease * Engagement with care defined as one or more HbA1c tests during period Source KEH; Data cubes analysis 13

Weqaya 2012 1. Ensure everyone knows their numbers by linking Weqaya Screening to Thiqa renewal (from 1 January, 2012) 2. Facilitate smooth processing by spreading Thiqa card renewal throughout the year 3. Empower patients to self care through health data transparency (Weqaya Data Architecture) 4. Establish DMP programmes to improve health for those at risk 16
Data systems enable secure ubiquity Sensor Data architecture Opt out screening Opt in data sharing Effector Ubiquitous Weqaya programme Disease Management Programmes Point of decision prompts 17
Pay for Quality and Pay for Health Paying for Quality Unit of reference is an encounter (whether fee for service or DRG) Based on evidence based care (pathways and clinical QIs) Concrete road map and mechanism set out in Standard Contract (between Health Insurers and Health Facilities) Expectation it will affect base payment by <10% Paying for Health Unit of reference is an individual s health status Basis for value creation is a contract/relationship between an individual and a Disease Management Programme (DMP) No health improvement no money 18

DMP RoI is locked in by design In year savings based on 1% risk reduction (AED1,000) for average Emirati with diabetes Complication Baseline 10 year CVD risk Annual cost of complication (US$) Annual cost of CVD in AD (AED) Contingent annual fiscal liability of CVD complications per average Emirati CVD risk if the patient enrolls in DMP Contingent annual fiscal liability of CVD complications per average Emirati Annual cost saving per patient Cardiovascular diseases (MI, CVA, CCF) 20% $ 69,911 AED 256,573 AED 51,315 19% AED 48,749 AED 2,566 DMP saves two Dirhams for each Dirham spent (in addition to driving innovation and saving more than 3,000 Emirati lives) 20
